Michael Jackson Dies After Heart Attack...

[Patrick Bateman]

The details about his alleged physical state from the autopsy are truly shocking. Just goes to prove what happens when you've got lackies around who are completely dependent on you for their income. It doesn't explain why his friends and family seemed to do nothing though. Perhaps Uri was too busy bending spoons.

I can't believe they're putting his body on a "lit de parade" http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Showbi ... 5626?f=rss

Planet earth is getting too small for Bono and U2 it seems. The stadium rockers included a live link to the international space station in the opening concert of their world tour in front of 90,000 Spanish fans at Barcelona's Camp Nou football stadium on Tuesday night.

Spanish reviewers were overwhelmed by the "rock power" display and struggled desperately to interpret the message in a show that featured astronauts, a video of Desmond Tutu, football, and, significantly, a Michael Jackson tribute, with Bono dedicating Angel of Harlem to the King of Pop, before playing Man In the Mirror and Don't Stop Till You Get Enough.

Community reviewers were overwhelmed by the "pop power" display and struggled desperately to interpret the message in a show that featured cubeheads, a video of the London Underground, dancing skyscrapers, and, significantly, a Coldplay tribute, with Neil Tennant dedicating Viva La Vida to the Crown Prince of Rock, before playing Being Boring and West End Girls.

Hmmm. I still think I'll stick with the Pets.

Drico.

The message? Bono is an arse.

*cue montage of Winnie Mandela, Ivo Karlovic serving an ace, and Gary Glitter in a Bangkok bar. Deep, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.*

The message? Bono is a c***.

Well said, PB.

A sad and early end to a sad life.

Those of you who are suddenly compelled to buy and listen to MJ albums that have been widely available for between 2 and 35 years, enjoy it whilst you can. So much nastiness is going to come out of the woodwork (some bull, some true) that your ears will become tainted when playing this sad man's music a few weeks, months and years down the line.

Of course, some people can listen in isolation to the unpleasantness of the artist's personal life, but the current sycophancy may subside somewhat.

The Independant article is very brave. I can see lawsuits coming, even though it's just an honest opinion.

The more earnest and worthy Bono tries to be, the more he tries to beat his chest the more desperate and pathetic he looks.

You're not kidding ! The last 9 paragraphs don't pull any punches do they ?!?

I would quote them, but I wouldn't want to be accused of publishing those views should one of the Jackson lawyers call by here ...

Whatever peoples personal opinion of him is, you still cannot call him a paedophile. He's never been found guilty, so therefore, he is innocent.

Never found guilty in the first case because when it looked like he was banged to rights he settled out of court.

Never found guilty in the 2nd case because the legal team that has contributed to Jackson's near bankruptcy (that's how expensive and, therefore, how good they are) managed to turn the under-privileged, under-educated mother of the boy in to a money-grabbing opportunist. She gifted the boy to Jackson and gifted the trial to Jackson's defense.

Thank goodness for the Independent article. At last.
